rules OF practlce nave recently been de-
vised multiplying the efforts of the company
to facilitate the completion of lists of selec-
TONS and unnecessarily complicating the
perfection of lists, whereby even greater
hardness in the response of the Government
to the demands of the company than has
heretofore been exhibited may be ex-
pected.

THE GENERAL LAND OFFICE HoPELEssLY IN
ARREARS WITH WORK.
This statement would be incomplete with
out some consideration being given to the
subject as to whether the Land Depart
ment of the Government is in position to
examine the claims presented, and pass
upon them with greater promptness than it
has manifested in the past. The railroad
division of the General Land Office is
charged with the adjustment of the grants
for railroads, wagon roads and canals, and
with the adjudication of claims of settlers
and others within the limits of the grant.
Under date of October H. 1882, Hon. n. S.
Mcfarland, Commissioner of the General
Land Office, reported to Hon. Henry NJ.
Teller, Secretary of the Interior. for the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1882. that the
work of the railroad division of his de-
partment was several years in arrears As
illustrating the difficulties with which that
division is beset, it may be noted in the
same report that Mr.. Mcfarland declares
that during the year 1882. 1854 cases were
presented for adjustment in the way OF
claims of settlers and others within the
limits of the grants to railroads, and OF
this large number but 6l7 cases had re.
ceived attention; 5,9i7, therefore, consti.
tuted the accumulation of the year. In
the same report Commissioner Mcfarland
submits supplemental estimate in which
ne asks for 100 additional clerks, and s9f

CASES BEFORE THE pEpARrMrNr.

At the close of the year, therefore, there
We're S,I2l cases before the Department
which had received no attention whatever.
AT the close of the business of the Admin
istration preceding the present one, viz:
June 30, 1882, the aggregate of cases which
had not been reached for examination was
3,947. In period of four years, therefore,
there has been an increase of 4,477 cases
which had not been reached for examina-
ton, proving clearly that the arrears of the
Department under this head are constantly
augmenting instead of diminishing. With
the lapse of each fiscal year the reports of
the Commissioner show that under every
head the Department is becoming more
hopelessly and inextricably in arrears with
its business
In view of these facts the Land Depart
ment of the company is confronted with
hopeless and discouraging circumstances
that call loudly for remedial legislation at
the hands of the national Congress.

RECENT AMEYpMENrs TO THE LAy

Frequent reference has been made in
this report 10 Section q of the Act of 1864.
which declared that before any land granted
by the Act should be conveyed, there
should first be paid into the Treasury of the
United States the cost of surveying, select
ing ETC., as the title should be required by
the company. In the foregoing, il has
been clearly set forth that, Notwithstanding
the right vas vested in the company to pay
the cost of surveys. and to make lists of
selections, as the title should be required
by it, yet the company has at ALI times i'm
portuned the Government for the issue of
patents. Your attention is now called to
the fact, that by an Act approved July TO-
1886, entitled, 4 An Act 10 provide for tax
alton Of railroad land grants and for other
purposes" Section 81 Of the Act of 1864
was amended. The amendment is found
in Section 4 of the Act of July 10, 1856,
ard reads as soJ.ows:
Section 4. That Section 81, Chapter PIG,
approved July ., 1864 is hereby amended
SO that the cost OF Surveying, selecting and
conveying therein required to be paid, shall
become due and payable on demand there
for made by the Secretary of the Interior,
as provided in Section Of this Act"
